| | | Re: Ink 'n' pen wash...Four Spotted Chaser That is a decent piece of work, Martin.
Colour - not necessarily better (IMO), just different. 
Still, good luck with it!

| | | Re: Ink 'n' pen wash...Four Spotted Chaser Well Martin I think it's great and that isn't because it's from one of my photos.
Anyone who can get that amount of detail in a pen and ink drawing regardless of subject has talent.
It's very life like in my opinion. Would be good to see a colour one of some sort but you have definitely done justice to the pen and ink version.
No need to ask if you wish to use any others Martin, just go ahead.

D. | Thank you very much Dutchess, worked in a drawing office for a few years and did schematics, just black and white and have been used to b/w ever since in line drawing work.
There is a "But"..... 
But lets see later on.
Thanks for your comments...appreciated.
